As a settlement in a lawsuit, the FDA has reluctantly admitted to common sense. Mercury is a neurotoxin, therefore mercury in fillings can be hazardous. True, they only admit it for babies and expectant mothers... but you have to wonder... what about everyone else? A Victory for Health -- FDA Forced to Admit That Mercury Fillings are Hazardous "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has finally admitted that metal dental fillings containing mercury can cause health problems in pregnant women, children and fetuses. As part of the settlement of a lawsuit filed by several consumer advocacy groups, the FDA agreed to alert consumers about the potential risks on its Web site and to issue a more specific rule next year for fillings that contain mercury.

We just walk into a health food store, pick out a supplement and check out at the register and go about our way. We read and study, and find out what is best for our lifestyle. It is our choice. We can supplement our diet if we want. But, forces are amassing that are trying to put a stop to this personal choice in diet and nutrition! For instance, in Canada, there is pending legislation that would take away this right, and make supplementation…

You've seen the commercials with Sally Field for "Boniva." Well, add to the long list of side effects the possibility of severe muscle and joint pain!
